IS IT ME?

Am I the problem. Because I can't seem to fly on a plane these days without getting extremely pissed off with my fellow "human beings". I just seem to always attract the annoying twats. Allow me to expand!!

.

I get on my flight this evening, it started elsewhere and made the stop to collect us along the way. I get to my seat only to find a lovely South African "gentlemen" in it.

.

I point to the window seat "I think you have my seat"

.

"Yeah we swapped with that guy (the sleeveless VB drinking mullet wearing redneck in the row in front) and that's now your seat if that's okay" he replies with a smug look.

.

That seat being the one next to the redneck.

.

I really couldn't be stuffed arguing the point, so I slipped into the seat. Mullet boy quickly marked his territory by extending his elbows across the middle arm rest. Trust me dude, I wont be sitting close to you, your space is all yours.

.

After we take off the guy 3 rows up turns on his iPod so loud that even I could hear it blasting from his ears over the engines and 3 rows back. Did I mentionI was 3 rows back?

.

Finally we land, I'm fairly shitted off by now, especially when as soon as the seatbelt sign turned off VB man stood up and practically hip and shouldered me out of my seat. Just so he could stand in the aisle for 5 minutes and strain his neck looking forward, to see who it was that was causing him to not be off of the plane 30 seconds after it landed.

.

Then the coup de grace. I stand back and allow the seething masses to push each other out of the way in order to get their luggage before anyone else can. Then I hear it. Dude switches his mobile phone on, calls a mate and it goes a little something like this...

.

"C#nt how are yaaaaaah? Go on tell me c#nt, yeah ya c#nt. I'll be outside the c#nt of an airport soon ya c#nt. What's that................." he stares at his phone wondering why he can't hear anything.

Some of the pubs and hotels that used to dot Perth, some are still here in a renewed form but most are gone forever (I think I have all locations correct?!) oh and I think you'll soon get a bit sad like I am that these were all demolished once you click the links and see what replaced them..... The Adelphi Hotel, cnr Mill and St Georges Tce.Demolished to build this.

The Palace Hotel, St Georges Tce. Only the facade remains with the hideous Bankwest tower climbing out of its back rooms. I'm not a big fan of facadism, but I guess they at least left something

Just adding to my list of places I want to see/visit before I die
The Elrod House is in Palm Springs, California. It was designed by the American architect John Lautner and constructed in 1968. The house was built for Arthur Elrod, an interior designer. I believe most of these photos are by Leland Y. Lee. I could sit here for an eternity
Fun facts: The house was used as Willard Whyte's mansion in the 1971 James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever. The living room, swimming pool, and an interior room were featured in the film. The home has also been the site of photo shoots for Playboy Magazine.

Have you ever looked at the Harold E Holt Communications Station VLF towers facility, located in the north west of Western Australia, on Google Maps?
Well you should, just for the excellent geometry the towers create. It's also a pretty amazing part of the state, I once had the pleasure of a 3 day fishing trip to nearby Coral Bay where we floated our boats between migrating whales. One of my life highlights, but that's another story...
